Just curious! Is there a difference in use in terms of formal/informal register with these two constructions, or is “tan...como” just more common? Thanks!
Can’t “vamos a continuar derecho” be used instead of recto? And aren’t carretera and autopista the same thing?
Thanks.
I’m not quite clear about the use of the ‘se tardan’ plural. The examples given are with a plural number of hours/minutes. Are the time units the ‘subject’ of the passive? In other words if the time was one hour or one minute, could you still use the plural verb? Or is there some other rule that indicates singular or plural? Or are they just equivalent?
Where does “eso” fit in, and could it be used in the example below? If so, how would they be different?
I think I always use “eso” in these cases; never esto. Wondering if I’ve always been wrong.
“ Esto no es lo que yo dije.
This is not what I said.”In the last sentence "Fueron unos días muy felices."
Isn't "fueron" the third person plural (preterite) of "ir"? It should be followed by "a"
It seems to me that it should be "fueran" instead of "fueron"
why is "pretérito perfecto" translated as "present perfect"?
"Preterite" means past tense, ¿verdad?
Gracias
Select the option with the verb in the correct form of the imperfect tense.

In another lesson the future simple also implies ´maybe/chance of´, right?
